It’s actually cold here in Brisbane at the moment (secretly loving it), but it is a bit of a shock to the system after the insane heat. So I need brownies. Yes need. Brownies are the perfect pick me up in this cold weather and a fantastic start to the week.

Mini Mars Bar Cheesecakes are creamy, mini chocolate cheesecakes with Mars Bars dotted throughout and topped with a chocolate ganache and more Mars Bars. You’re going to love the different flavours and textures of these mini cheesecakes!

I based this recipe off my chocolate marbled mini cheesecakes recipe but changed practically everything up! I added milk chocolate to the cheese cake mixture to get the hint of chocolate throughout the cheesecake mixture as the middle of a Mars Bar is only slightly chocolaty.

Caramel Cookies are soft and chewy chocolate chip, caramel flavoured cookies with caramel sauce mixed right into the mixture and filled with caramel filled chocolates! Caramel overload in these cookies!

You guys! Are awesome do these sound?

I have actually had this recipe idea in my head for over a year now! The only problem was every time I attempted these caramel cookies they just would not work. Too flat, too soft, too crisp, too gooey, not chewy… The list goes on. In fact I’ve tested and tested and tested this recipe over the course of the year that I almost gave up hope of it ever succeeding. Almost.

M&M Caramel Cookie Bars are a soft, chewy and ooey gooey chocolate chip cookie baked in a slice pan with a thick layer of sweet and buttery caramel running through the middle. With the addition of M&Ms to take these gooey cookie bars over-the-top and add a pop of colour.

A few months ago I shared my all time favourite thing to bake which was my Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. This recipe is one I have developed over years of making and adjusting to make them as perfect as can be. Gooey and indulgent. Sweet and buttery. Melty with crunchy edges. I in my original caramel chocolate chip cookie bars post that I made these almost every week before I started this blog.

White Chocolate Stuffed Butterscotch Cookies. Chewy butterscotch pudding cookies packed full of white chocolate for a melty, gooey middle. These use a butterscotch pudding mix to give the strong butterscotch flavour and to add chew to the cookie.

Since making my Vanilla Pudding Cookies I have been dying to try another pudding flavour mixture and add that to a cookie. I find the pudding not only enhances the flavour of the cookie but gives the cookies a lovely chew and texture.
